Set for larger role Sunday
Bernard is set to be the No. 3 option at wide receiver in Sunday's game against the Patriots, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
The second-round rookie will have his first opportunity as a starting member of the Steelers offense due to Michael Pittman (foot) being ruled out ahead of the contest. Bernard saw just three offensive snaps in the team's Week 1 win over the Falcons, a number that should skyrocket in Week 2.
